Chapter 353: Recompense
The Wang Family was so solemn about it that it made us siblings feel a bit embarrassed.
It seemed they had misunderstood; the Wang Family actually were reasonable people. That Third Child must be the odd one out in their family.
The two young brothers, after hearing the elders of the Wang Family’s sincere thanks, didn’t quite know what to say. It was the young lady who slightly stood out, "Uncle, you are too kind. We just lent a hand where we could, it wouldn’t be right for us as the younger generation to accept what you’re suggesting. If Uncle doesn’t mind, we’ll go home and discuss it with our parents, and then get back to you with an answer, is that all right?"
"Yes, yes, yes... It’s getting late today, and the mountain roads are dangerous. Stay with us at Old Wang’s house overnight, and we’ll talk tomorrow."
After declining a couple of times and seeing that it was indeed unsafe to travel through the mountains so late, they noticed that the Wangs were genuine in their invitation, so they agreed to stay.
Busy with arrangements, Laosi remained unconscious and was left in the main room for the night, watched over by Wang Laozhu and Old Granny Zhang.
Wang Yongping’s room was given to the two Liu brothers.
The Liu family’s young lady shared a room with Wang Yongzhu.
Seeing that Wang Yongping was alright, and that the Liu siblings were settled in, Song Chongjin also excused himself to go home.
As he left, Wang Yongzhu saw him off but didn’t say anything more than necessary about thanks, just told him to go home and get some rest.
A smile tugged at the corners of Song Chongjin’s mouth involuntarily, and after a long moment, he managed to squeeze out a few words, "Fourth Brother has good fortune on his side, you don’t need to worry, if there’s anything, just come find me."
